    Got fried on the Appalachian trail near my house yesterday after the leaf drop,bought the ltm6 today and had no idea how to wear it and would have never found the pocket! Thanks so much. Happy trails 🍁🍁🍁

    Nice comparison. Picked up LTM6 on vacation when my son lost my hat, but I think I'd prefer LTM5. Tilley hats are well worth the up charge over budget hats. Good fit and attention to detail.

    This older video got me thinking the larger number, the larger brim. Today, the LTM2 is now the BIGGEST brim size (i.e., bigger than LTM6), based on Tilley site specs.

    I have a LTM2 and the LTM6. When I am hiking on the CDT I wear the LTM2 as the coverage is better. Same quality and a very nice hat. I enjoy them both.

    Great video. The only thing I'd warn against is tucking the wind cord into the pocket. I tried doing that and the strong velcro inside really stuck to the cord and I damaged it when trying to pull it off.

    99% of the time you don't need the string if the hat fits pull it out of the grommets and re tye it over the brim in the back. You can still use it in an emergency

    I just looked at my Airflo and there's snaps that you can fasten the brim to right above the headband if you're not worried about the sun protection aspect. When did Tilley eliminate the brim fastening snaps on these hats??? I have a regular Tilley Hat that also has the snaps. Just wondering...

    No, the colors do not change much over time. The colors listed are correct, but the two olive green colors do not match. They are slightly off. By the way, the LTM6 is much older than the LTM5.

    On Tilley's website the Olive LTM5 looks much darker than the Olive LTM6. Which seems to be the opposite way around from the hats you show. Maybe the LTM5 you have there is actually the T5MO?

    How hot are these Tilly getting in direct sunshine in 40 degrees Celsius or 45 degrees Celsius? Like in semi desert locations. I have a farm in an semi arid location with such temperatures. I already switched over to the pith helmets from Village Hat Shop since these boonie hats are just way to hot and unbearable.

    I just received a warranty replacement for a 20 yr old LTM3. Even though it was made in China it is identical to the old hat in every way. Same Velcro pocket in top, same brass snaps with maple leafs, identical construction and quality. No changes whatsoever. Happy boater, fisherman, golfer.

    Yes, the two colors are slightly off. They are both olive, but they are not of the same shade or tint. The LTM5 is grayish/green, whereas the LTM6 is true olive. The difference is not from washing.

    Made in China now. I personally find this irritating. Plus, their sizing is inaccurate now. I ordered up one size and it is still way too tight. The sizes are inconsistent across the models, also. I have had one of my Tilley hats since the late 80’s and I am really disappointed in them now. Too bad.
